[opensuse-gnome] "Additional Multimedia Codecs Required" DoS attack
by Gerald Pfeifer 24 Mar '17

24 Mar '17

Hi guys, I am wondering whether any of you also get hit by the "Additional Multimedia Codecs Required" denial-of-service attack with GNOME on Tumbleweed (and what to possibly do about it)? In a nutshell, now and then, out of a sudden, without any trigger that I could see "Additional Multimedi Codecs Required" "An application is requesting additional multimedia codecs" shows up in the notification area. At a rate of two or perhaps three per second. Sometimes it goes away after a bit (in particular various attempts and arbitrary mouse clicking?), sometimes <Alt><F2> "r" <Return> helps. Debugging this I guess it might be related to the following repeating N times (in journalctl)?

(If not, might that be considered a useful addition?) Gerald -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-gnome] GNOME 3.22.0
by Dominique Leuenberger / DimStar 21 Sep '16

Dear openSUSE GNOME users, You might have read already in the NEWS (then you were fast!) that GNOME 3.22 has been released [0] Of course the openSUSE GNOME Team has been very actively involved, in close collaboration with upstream, to get this also available for openSUSE Tumbleweed 'in no time'. As is the usuaal process, GNOME 3.22.0 is now available in the devel project 'GNOME:Factory'. The entire stack has already been submitted to Staging, passed integration tests, has been tested by openQA [1] and will be made available to Tumbleweed within the next couple days. This is likely one of the shortest integration windows the GNOME Team has ever achieved - and I doubt there is much room to compress it even further. Should you, despite all testing, find bugs, please raise them for discussion on the mailing lists (opensuse-gnome or opensuse-factory) or reach out directly to the team on IRC (#opensuse-gnome on irc.freenode.net). I hope you will enjoy the updated GNOME as much as we already do :) Cheers, Dominique [0] https://goo.gl/cbT2rm [1] https://goo.gl/scRLke PS: before the question comes up: LEAP 42.2 will be based on GNOME 3.20 and share its codebase with SLE12SP2. There are no plans to offer addon repos. The Leap target audience cares for stability and supportability over version numbers.
